WARREN BUFFETT: 'I'm Having More Fun At 84 Than I've Ever Had'

In an interview on Bloomberg TV, Warren Buffett made clear he
doesn't really want to leave his post at Berkshire Hathaway.

Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker asked Buffett about his
future at Berkshire Hathaway, and Buffett — who turned 84 on Aug.
30 — said, "I'm having more fun at my job at 84 than I've
ever had."

Buffett appeared on Bloomberg alongside Michael Bloomberg,
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, and Michigan governor Rick
Snyder in Detroit for the graduation of small-business
owners from the first class of Goldman Sachs' "10,000 Small
Businesses" program to spur small-business growth in
Michigan.

Regarding the health and strength of the US economy, Buffett said
the US had "probably done better than it could've expected back
in 2009."

"We are on the cusp of continuous growth," Buffett said, "but
we've also been there for five years."

And speaking in Detroit, Buffett noted the recent strength in
auto sales, with the US on pace to see about 17 million car sales
this year, as a big part of the economic recovery.

Regarding the health of Detroit, which is currently working its
way through bankruptcy proceedings, Buffett said: "Detroit needed
a clean financial slate ... and it's getting it. Detroit is going
to do fine."
